Talyxians and salt

Almost all Talyxian species creatures avoid salts for the unknown reasons. Salt is not inherently toxic to Talyxian creatures, but talyxian creatures have an inherent repulsion towards the touch of salt, especially on their mucous membrane areas. And they do feel intense pain and discomfort if salt is applied, especially to an open wound. For comparison, it is significantly more painful to Talyxians compared to those of the Eltus people.

The truth behind the biological relationship between salt and Talyxians is still a deeply unknown matter to Eltus. However, it is common knowledge among the Eltus people that salt is a very effective deterrent to almost all Talyxians.
